A Muddy Re-Make
This film was a very, very loose re-make of "Man From Music Mountain" which Gene Autry had made in 1938. This finds Roy going home for a radio show appearance and getting mixed up with in no particular order, two sexy sister, a bogus range war and murder. It's a sloppy mess. This print is missing 17 minutes of music and dialogue and that doesn't help either. Some good things to look for; Pat Brady stepping out of The Pioneers to take a role as full-fledged side-kick. He's very good. Ann Gillis as the younger sister is saucy beyond her years while older sister Ruth Terry is rather lack-luster. Excellant on location filming in Alabama Hills at Lone Pine CA in Early Spring. Lots of snow on the ground. A very routine Roy Rogers western. Be aware, curiosity value only.
